At War

I am trapped in this mind.
I am at war.
Pushing against every thought-
my only weapon my pen.
I am at war,
locked in battle with myself.
My only weapon my pen,
the victory my story.
I am locked in battle with myself,
and it is so hard to win.
But this victory is my story-
my scars are my lost words.
It is so hard to win
when I can’t get the words out.
My scars are my lost words-
proof of the war that I am in.
When I can’t get the words out
and am pushing against every thought,
it is proof of the war that I am in.
I am trapped in this mind.
